I have lost count of the days since I started my new life being healthy and trying to get fit. Some background….

Started on April 2009
Weight: 380
Waist: 52ish (was a little loose then)
Shirt size: 4XLT

Current
Weight: 329
Waist: 46 (but pants are loose)
Shirt size: 3XLT

Over all goal within a year is 100 pounds and at the half way point, I am half way there.

I probably should be lower but work and my mother being ill has kept me from my routine. I will need to increase the intensity here as I have leveled off. I lift at least 3 times a week and when my lungs are clear cardio at least twice a week. Swimming was my cardio over the summer but alas…fall is here and I am closing up my pool. I think I am pretty close to maybe start running. I got a vacation coming up and I will have a good opportunity to start running while at the beach.

Couple of things have change since my venture started. I have broken my caffine habit. It has been amazing to do that and when I do have caffine, it’s a treat but I don’t get it too often anymore. On my old Fatassgamer.com blog, I mentioned that I was having problems with eating out for lunch everyday. Well, I have kicked that habit too. I may go out once a week anymore for lunch. That has definitely benefited me more than just eating better, but my wallet is a little fatter these days too. Confidence. So many people have made comments about the way I look. That just fuels me even more to hit my goal. And it seems to have helped me in the dating arena too.

Bad thing since I have started…my sleeping habits. I went through about two weeks of insomnia. I have dropped enough weight to where if i sleep on my stomach, it just isn’t comfortable anymore. Still battling through that but I think I am over the hump. Different pillows and getting used to sleeping on my side is starting to be the norm now. Sleeping in a different position has also caused me to have nerve pinches till I get used to it. Sore muscles…eh…I’m just whining now.

So Fatassgamer is still here and still going with the weight loss. I will continue to update regularly.
